Mulch rubbed the first-class airplane seat cover with fervor. "Didn't know
how far that little nugget of gold could take me! All the more reason to
thank Fowl," he mumbled while stroking his beard.
The plane touched down, and as soon as he was done with all the hustle and bustle of the airport, he rented a car and drove to Fowl Manor. But suddenly, as the road was slippery from a previous rain and Mulch was driving like his life depended on it, he almost collided with a Mercedes- Benz and his car skidded off the road. "Oh, what a whole load of baloney!" he yelled in frustration while surveying the damage. He turned around to curse the other car but it drove on. He was about to say something generally impolite until he squinted his eyes to see whom the driver was. "Butler?"
Mulch ran the length of the street, dodging cars while praying hard not to be road kill. "Fowl, you better be ready for me when I catch up with you!" he screeched, after almost colliding with a motorcycle. He ran and ran till his legs felt like jelly. Almost there, he thought, just a little longer. Just a little-"AAAAAAAHHH!" Too preoccupied with running, he didn't notice the Mercedes-Benz's brake lights flare up. He stopped himself just in time, but the car wheeled around quickly, noticing him, and almost collided with another car, which blocked half the road and caused traffic jam enough to bring on a migraine. Many people crowded around to shake their heads at the mess, but one particular person pushed aside everyone else to reach the "epicenter".
The minute the lady saw Mulch rubbing his aching legs, she let out a yell. "MULCH!" Mulch looked up at her and said, "Hey, lady, your voice sounds familiar but how do you-Captain Short? CAPTAIN SHORT!" "MULCH! YOU PEST! WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?" "Wait, Short, what are YOU doing here?" "You're not in the position to argue!" "What on Earth is happening here? You, sir, why have you been following us?" Holly (about to clobber Mulch) and Mulch (preparing to eject gas to escape) looked at the pale teen who just stepped out of the car, followed by the manservant. Holly grumbled, "Guess we'll have to explain everything."
